Description

After 8 weeks of a successful summer camp for nearly 400 low-income students, we have a busy fall season as well. Come help us tidy up camp and add some finishing touches to our spaces this fall that will be able to be enjoyed by our guests year round.

We have four main projects planned for the day: Painting a small "boathouse", landscaping (i.e., preparing the area and adding river rock around sections of our Summit Lodge), pressure washing decks, and cleaning carpets indoors. We will plan to divide up into smaller teams and attack as many of the listed projects as we think we can accomplish. All supplies and tools will be provided; however, we do encourage volunteers to bring work gloves and safety glasses if they have them. We will have some PPE available for those who don't have any.

We look forward to working alongside you at Camp Summit this fall!
